INTRODUCTION The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the interlinked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support . The revolution of digital library is a landmark in the profession of the 21 st century which is promising delivery of complete information to users desktop in a seamless manner from any corner of the globe. The present century is the century of information society and various technological developments in IT sector such as Internet, web portal, e-books, e-journals, digital libraries, and subject gateways. Tenopir (2000) has defined e-resources as those electronic information resources and services that user accesses electronically via a computer network from inside the library or remote to library. E-resources are now a reality in the age of information technology. With the advent of Internet, users can access many, e-books, e-journals, e-databases, magazines and newsletters anytime from anywhere for their academic and research developments. In the past, libraries had to deal with only printed journals but with the application of information technology in publishing and Internet, many more journals are being 2017, IJRLS All Rights Reserved Page 71

To know the frequency of use of e-resources by the faculty and research scholars of speech and hearing institutions in India. 2. To know the extent of use of various online medical databases 3. To project the top ten useful online journals and medical databases. 3. To know the need of training among the faculty and research scholars. 3. METHODOLOGY Altogether, there are 24 institutions in different states in India which are offering post-graduate and doctoral degree programs in the discipline of speech and hearing. While considering the number of faculty and research scholars working in these 24 institutions, there are altogether 268 faculty members and 98 research scholars in the speech and hearing institutions in the country. For the purpose of this study, all the faculty and research scholars working in these 24 institutions have been considered. As the population is not huge, the investigator in the study has tried to cover the entire population of faculty and research scholars. Initially, the questionnaires were sent to the faculty and research scholars through in order to elicit the responses on the use of e-resources. Subsequently, some of the responses were also obtained by courier post. In order to mail the questionnaire to the respondents, addresses of the faculty and research scholars were gathered from the institutions directories and websites. Among the entire population of 268 faculty and 98 research scholars, faculty representing 78.35% and research scholars representing 76.53% have responded with duly filled in questionnaires. While considering the entire population of users which constitutes 366 faculty and researchers, users have responded in the present study which accounted for 77.86% of the total response. The data thus obtained have been tabulated and interpreted to arrive at the findings and suggestions of the study. The researcher has used tables and charts for clarity of understanding. Further, Chi-square and Cramer s V valve tests were applied for the purpose of analysis and interpretations of the data. 1.1 List of Speech and Hearing institutions covered under the study: 1.

According to the Rehabilitation Council of India (a statutory body to regulate and monitor services given to persons with disability, to standardize syllabi and to maintain a Central Rehabilitation Register of all qualified professionals and personnel working in the field of Rehabilitation and Special Education), website of the institutions and the annual reports / brochures of the institutions, there are 268 faculty and 98 research scholars working in the 24 institutions which are offering Master s degree and Doctoral degree programs. The researcher has been able to distribute questionnaires to the faculty and research scholars seeking response as to know about the use and awareness of the e-resources ( e-books, e-journals and e-databases). Responses have been obtained from faculty and research scholars which accounted for 77.86% of the total response. Table: 2 Frequency of use of e-resources Frequency CV& P 1.

Occasionally 11 (5.2%) 05 (6.7%) 16 (5.6%) Table 2 projects the frequency of use of e-resources (e-books, e-journals and databases). Among the entire population of the users, 39.3% access the e-resources on a daily basis. Another 22.8% of the users access the e-resources on alternate days. From this, it is clear that 62.1% of the users frequently access the e-resources for various academic and research purposes. Further, 16.1% access the e-resources once in a week. Very few users representing 7.4% and 5.6% have responded stating that they access the e-resources once in a fortnight and occasionally. This clearly depicts that in speech and hearing institutions, faculty engaged in supervising the research and research scholars working for doctoral degree depend on e- resources frequently. Cramer's V value test revealed a significant difference between groups of frequencies for number of years (CV=.177; p=.113).

It is evident from the table that 134(47.01%) faculty and research scholars have felt that the extent of use of MEDLINE is only to a moderate extent. Further, 112(39.29%) faculty and research scholars have expressed that the extent of use of MEDLINE is high and followed by small segment of 39(13.68%) respondents have indicated that the extent of use of MEDLINE is to a lower extent. However, among the faculties, 109 representing 51.9% opined that the use of MEDLINE is moderate and 81(38.5%) felt that the use of MEDLINE is to the higher extent. A few respondents comprising of 20(9.5%) members felt that the use is only to the limited extent. While considering the use of MEDLINE by the research scholars, 25 representing 33.3% have stated that the use is only to the moderate extent. However, among the researchers, 31(41.33%) opined that the use is to a higher extent and 19(25.33%) of them felt that the use is only to a little extent. Thus, it is deduced a large percentage of the faculty and researchers in speech and hearing institutions rely upon MEDLINE only to a moderate extent. Chi-square value revealed that a significant difference between groups of frequencies (X 2 =49.53; p=.000).

A large percentage of faculty and research scholars use PubMed to the higher extent. 3. A large percentage of faculty and research scholars rely upon HELENET to the higher extent. 4. A large percentage of the faculty and research scholars in speech and hearing institutions rely upon MEDLINE only to a moderate extent. 5. A majority of the faculty and research scholars rely upon JCCC-ICMR to a moderate extent. 6. A large percentage of faculty and research scholars use WHOLIS to the lower extent. 7. A large percentage of faculties and researchers use ComDisDome to a moderate extent. 8. A large majority of the faculty and research scholars rely upon J-Gate@ERMED to a moderate extent. 9. A majority of the respondents has indicated the need of conducting orientation and training programmes for better access and optimum use of e-resources. 10. Among the online databases, PubMed and Science Direct are being extensively used by the research scholars. The use of e-resources by the research scholars is high when compared to the faculty members. Biomed Central and NeuroScience Information Framework are not being used by large majority of the users 6. SUGGESTIONS 1. The Internet browsing terminals in some of the institution libraries need to be increased so as to make the Internet browsing facility adequate. Further, the band-width or the speed of the Internet should also be increased to speed up the process of the information search. 2. The institution libraries should organize seminars, workshops and orientation programmes for faculty and research scholars on periodical basis in order to keep them with latest information, especially the trends and developments in their subject field. CONCLUSION The importance of e-resources comprising of e-books, e-journals and e-theses is undisputed for teaching and research especially in the field of medical sciences. Noticing this need, the Indian Council of Medical (ICMR) and Ragiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RAGUHS) have started extending access to full-text medical journals since the past many years. The trend of facilitating remote access to scholarly information is also considered by the medical institutions in order to make the information services available anytime and anywhere. Noticing the trends in accessing primary and research oriented information, of late, the popular publishers have also started publishing in electronic form. Day-by-day, the number of online books and journals is increasing and the medical specialists have also become familiar with accessing online information sources. The medical institutions of late have also given due importance for the creation of institutional repositories of the theses and dissertations, as well as, the publications of faculties and research scholars of the institutions. The digital repositories now-a-days are found quite useful for the user communities.
